I call a jointer a jointer, unless I'm talking to someone other than myself, then I invariably think "jointer" but say "thicknesser". Probably just old age creeping in twenty years prematurely.
Cheers

I call it a surface planer, shortened to surfacer, because it's purpose in life is to straighten and square timber that is twisted, sprung, bowed and generally screwed up before the timber is dressed for final use.

G'day,
Have a 6" surface planer from my Grandad, my dad-in-law calls it a 6" buzzer - but then he says lAy-SIR (two distinct sylables with an emphasis on the sir) whereas we all say laser.
I'm right, he's wrong

OK, I stand corrected. They call thicknessers 'planers'. Silly buggers Originally Posted by ryanarcher
I've yet to meet anyone who calls them buzzers up here in NSW, so maybe that's a Mexican term? I must admit NSW is where I first came into contact with them. I picked 'jointer' up from a joinery here and it was what they called them at another place I worked in Sydney. After that it just stuck."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

G'day SilenC,
Don't you know Mexico is south of the Qld border? Not south of the NSW border. Down here in Vic I call it Antartica because it's so damn cold. My Dad-in-law is a Yit, Cockroach or Mexican - call him what you will. Me, I'm a Qldr by birth.
